The Bounce House

639162

We rented one of those moonwalk inflatable bounce castle things for Tim’s seventh birthday.
Sally’s busy with the cake. I have to check on something at work.
Looking over my laptop, I saw the kids dragging the castle in between the house and the pool.
Then from above, Tim shouts KOWABUNGA!
He jumps from the roof, lands in the castle, and then sails in an arc into the pool.
Huge splash. Laughter.
By the time I get outside, three more kids have jumped from the roof.
I yell at them. “I was supposed to go first!”
I climb the ladder.
